Update - got it, thanks to edp17

4.0 released...

The releases are announced in time. Right now 4.0 is in testing, hopefully shortly to be released

PS: Let's keep SFOS/Tama discussion in one XDA thread and not spread it around. Including the release announcements

Android open source available.

Anyone intend to create a build for the dash if possible?
http://source.android.com/posts/opensource
I will look into this, hopefully some more people will be willing to help out...
Dang this is harder then I thought but I think it could be done...
No one has even gotten android to run on anything but a dream that i know of, and the source has been out quite a while. Our project just getting linux running on a dash is proving to be quite a lot of work. Maybe once we get linux running we can move to android. Also visit #htc-linux on irc server freenode to see current progress on porting android to other devices.

Thanks for the information, but I truly believe it could be done because what would prevent android from being installed on a dash...
Also, no one thought linux would get on the dash; however, it is possible now... thanks for the developers...

Okay your misunderstanding a few things. First of all android is just a different distro of linux. To get it to work on the exclalibur we need to be able to boot a kernel and that kernel needs to work with all of our hardware. Which is what we are working on with the linwizard excalibur project. Once we get it working with all of our hardware we can patch the android kernel with all of our work then use the android userspace (android.bin) But untill we have working drivers for the excalibur in linux its not possible to boot and use android or any linux fully... understand?
Yah I understand what your are saying...

Gingerbread Kernel Source Code Available; Homebrew Ports Coming?

Kernel Source for Google Nexus S Released
December 15, 2010 By: ElCondor
Android development for the Google Nexus S has now begun. The kernel source – originally made available upon the official phone release – has already been released by Brian Swetland, an Android kernel developer. This source code can be further investigated and explored by developers. Ultimately, this will lead to achieving development milestones much earlier than usual. One example is to root the phone just a few hours or days after it gets released.

Thank you Brian !
XDA member supercurio created a thread in the Nexus S forums. Make sure to check it out to follow the discussion, or continue directly to the developer kernel site.
yeah.. it's out:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/17/android-2-3-gingerbreads-source-code-now-available/
i wonder why it takes to long to get a first build
Probably its just a matter of mili seconds before one pops up Cant wait >.<

Long like more than half a day? Lol.
Don't you need the source for the rest of the OS as well to build a full system?
The source is available now.

Tempted, even if I just had a rooted stock and remove some of the junk that is in the rom's...
If you're happy with the stock ROM, don't bother. You'll end up flashing ROMs all the time, always trying the newest or different ones - which is fun for sure, but not really necessary and often quite frustrating.
Can't wait to boot 2.3 on my Desire!

It's just a themed version I think.

[DEV][WIP]Sailfish OS Port - Alpha 2

I heard at devcon that a few guys are working on Sailfish ports for a few phones, including ours. So I decided to get them together with the devs here on the forum to get the port done. The place where the developers and porters of Sailfish OS are talking to each other is on freenode, so if you want to help them... just go there and join the channel #sailfishos-porters.
Warning: This is a developement project. So please only join the channel if you really want to help. Just going there to ask for ETAs or stuff like that won' t be tolerated. Also this thread should be a place for developers to collect ideas and fix bugs, not for the purpose of asking for ETAs. Please keep that in mind.
For the initial port I would like to thank @vgrade; information on how to install the port are in second post!

ROM OS Version: 4.4.x KitKat
ROM Kernel: Linux 3.4.x
Based On: CM 11
Version Information
Status: Alpha
Created 2015-03-20
Last Updated 2015-03-29
This is a community port of Jolla's Sailfish OS for the OnePlus One.
It features a gesture-based user interface with a unique design and ease-of-use in mind.
For more information about SailfishOS please head over to sailfishos.org.
This is not an Android ROM, this is a different base of an operating system called Linux, running glibc library.
It only uses parts of Android for hardware enabling (drivers).
Release Notes:
The port is considered to be of alpha quality and released as a first step to the same levels of functionality as the Nexus 5 .

Just a little status update that you see the project isn't abandoned: @vgrade is waiting for updated AOSP sources from Oneplus. Once they're live, he can cook something for us.

Let me know if you need any help, I'm new to porting, but I'd be willing to lend a hand and do some of the grunt work - if you need it.
I'm very interested by getting Sailfish OS on my One Plus.
I don't know how to install the build you'll provide but I suppose that you will give a litte tutorial with it.
I'm now following this thread !
Looking forward to this
@dansou901 might be of interest.

Good find! I don't have twitter so I wouldn't see this... @vgrade, will you come here again when you're back from Barcelona? @KINGbabasula, is MultiROM ready to go for Sailfish OS?
Edit: It isn't my work, I'm not in Barcelona on MWC this year (but planning to go there someday...). So it's vgrades work together with the other Sailfish porters (see the IRC channel I linked in OP).
Have you guys seem this?

That's just a followup from vgrades tweet, so nothing new. The information that he will share the build after MWC is down in the comments...
Guys Hi
As you see great progress made during MWC week on the port. Stskeeps from Jolla identified the bug stoppng UI coming up so we are go now.
Good to see the chase up on Multirom as this makes it easier for folks to test. I think it just needs to have a build which includes the sailfish patches included so any recent upstream build should suffice. On the add room page you should see a SailfishOs radio button.
Stay tuned for more details and drop into #sailfishos-poters channel on freenode IRC and say hello.

For those wanting to build their own images I've put my porting notes at http://piratepad.net/gVqPXuEGW4 , join us at #sailfishos-porters channel on IRC .

Android Wear 2.0 for SmartWatch 3 port progress Thread & Creation of OSS project

Hello,
As some people heard, i really try to get Android Wear 2.0 for our beloved SmartWatch 3.
And it's possible, sources, device trees, all exist to build a working own compiled Android Wear 2.0.
So this thread tells about the current process of the port
PROGRESS
Code:
Repo synced
First build finished (not buildable yet due no blobs included
GAPPS Porting in progress
Fixed to 99% the device tree
Updating Blobs to M1D64T in progress
Using own Device tree
SOURCES
Device Tree for tetra:
https://github.com/Sony-SmartWatch-3-OSS/android_device_tree_tetra_eng_prerelease
Device Kernel for tetra (unmodified):
https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/bcm/+/android-wear-6.0.1_r0.99
(we can use MM kernel on Nougat too, maybe some patches needed but that's okay)
Prebuilts/Blobs for tetra:
https://github.com/Sony-SmartWatch-3-OSS/vendor_prebuilts_tetra
For Discussions go to this thread please: https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch-3/general/companion-thread-android-wear-2-0-t3565693
If you want to help me on this project, write to me via telegram: https://t.me/PDesire
I need that so much any ETA ?
By the way keep up the good work !
Nice to see someone is working on this :victory:
Sent from my Sony Xperia Z5 using XDA Labs
Thanks for your job.

great!!! thanks
Dear PDesire,,
My support can be only moral..... :crying:
And I hoping good news soon from you
Thx again for your great hard work :good:
thankx you great hard work and good luck my friend
I checked out your device tree. It looks like it's based off an Open Devices tree. I don't think we need the following lines
Code:
include device/sony/common-headers/KernelHeaders.mk
-include device/sony/common-kernel/KernelConfig.mk
in BoardConfig.mk.
Also, what about the HALs? Asteroid OS used the system.img from a stock build, but we will need to build from source. I do not think it is open source, as it is not available on google git servers.
EDIT: I do not think building from source will work. This is what I found the Google Android building group:
Certain components of Android (and therefore Wear) come from third parties and have licenses which require the source code to be made available (e.g. the Linux kernel). The components made available via the AOSP repositories for releases like Wear are, afaik, the components which have that type of license.
Wear is a release which has taken the same path as Honeycomb. I can understand that for open source fans and people looking to tinker with a working system it’s somewhat disappointing to see, but those are the choices Google has made.

Looks like the only way to go forward is to port it from a pre-compiled version for another watch, like they did for the Galaxy Gear devices.

These sources are incomplete and only include GPL licensed projects. It is not the complete source, just like google releases preview sources for AOSP preview builds (M, N etc). I suggest you not waste your quota in downloading the source.

Yeah I've seen these, and already fixed. Patch comes soon.
Things for WLAN and BT for example are on google repo too and if a library or something is missing we can use it from M1D64T

Lel then I can't understand why the build is working xD at least I am building in time and already 14% finished
I know some libs we have to grab from the Marshmallow FW but that shouldn't be a big deal
At least we also need some things from Preview 2 so we can get our AW 2.0 Preview 2 working
So I try my best to grab much from source and if required also from FW, but all in all its possible for our SmartWatch 3 to get Android Wear 2.0
Your PDesire
but there's one thing i don't understand ... why r u using preview 2 instead of a feature complete newer version or the final version?

Because there aren't any sources of the final version.
@PDesire :
You're the man...keep up a good work ???
Hey @PDesire , any news? I'm sooooo hyped!!!
Thank bro I hope
Thanks for this!
So current status is:
Code:
Repo synced
First Test build stopped to fix things on device tree
Expected in future:
Code:
Blobs dump
Fully fixed Device tree
Creating vendor for tetra
Adding overlays for framework to device tree
Some mix with armv7-a-neon generic
Gapps Dump
Expected in far future:
Code:
Creating an OSS project for tetra (like sonyxperiadev but for tetra)
So guys I will do more tomorrow as I am awake already from Friday 7AM - 3AM Saturday (right now GMT +1) and working on it and I need my sleep xD
So Goodnight guys and I can confirm our dream of Android Wear 2.0 for SmartWatch 3 comes nearer

Thank you for your patience,
Please check the source code at https://github.com/ztemt. If you cannot access the connection, please refresh the interface and try again the next day. Thank you for your understanding.)
Edit :

Isn't our device NX729J? I don't see kernel source released for this... Sounds like they giving you the run around. They would sell a lot more phones if they did release. I almost didn't buy one due to this.. Hopefully they will release it soon.

I see there are 7S and 6S kernels, but I don't see any custom ROMs for them, so idk if we will see any for this phone too.
The repo is now available, however, it's empty by the time of me posting this now. It took them two weeks just to create the repo, that's insane. Well, at least it finally happened. Waiting for sources to be uploaded, they probably have to use slow vpn or something to do that, so it might take quite a bit of time.
What can we do with the kernel source?
So it is here.

Well, apparently we'll have to write drivers for our device:
Code:
# nubia driver
drivers/nubia
arch/arm64/configs/vendor/nubia
arch/arm64/configs/vendor/NX729J_diff.config
arch/arm64/configs/vendor/NX729J-perf_diff.config
arch/arm64/configs/vendor/NX729J_driveronly.config
This is from .gitignore, so we can't build this kernel and run it i.e. on stock rom.

We're not gonna see them until someone writes these drivers or zte publishes them. Both are very unlikely, so...
Seems like they uploaded it again, on zips. I checked and it seems to contain several things inside the /drivers/nubia folder so we probably have now a full workable kernel source
